A good name is hard to come by...

So, today is Friday and we a a lot closer to a name for our business. My partner in crime and I are going back and forth. Hopefully, crossing my fingers, we will have one by April 1! That's no fooling.

Let's take some time for a talk about Spring. Specifically, Spring time in Buffalo, NY. We all want to get out in the sunshine to wash our cars, spruce up a garden. But, how many of you are thinking about your skin?
Now is a great time to clear up a few misconceptions. First and foremost, sunscreen use. It's not for just Summer use anymore. Especially our lovely women and men over the age 40. Are you seeing more brown spots pop up like your Grandma used to have on her face and body? Do you blush more and notice a lot more pink vessels in your face? Do you get a dark pigment to your face in Spring through Summer that tends to fade in Fall & Winter? This is all part of the process of collagen breakdown and sun damage/photodamage.
Are you currently using a sunscreen as your moisturizer every morning?
If you answered YES! Congratulations and welcome to a healthy way of treating your skin daily. If you are in the population of those who said No...read on people.
None of us is getting any younger. But, we can put up one heck of a fight against aging. Sunscreen should be used daily, 365 days a year. Why? Because the UVA/UVB rays do not take a holiday or act seasonally. Not to mention the fact that we are putting ourselves at higher risk for a skin cancer. Even the superficial types of skin cancer like squamous cell cancer and basal cell cancer can be alarming when diagnosed. Can you imagine that you had the ability to prevent yourself or your children from getting a melanoma skin cancer and you chose not to? "It takes too long" What the heck is 2 minutes out of your daily routine? 
My recommended product of the day is La Roche Posay, Anthelios SPF60. It is light, non-greasy and can be reapplied every 5 hours to remain effective. For those who want something waterproof-Try Banana Boat Kids Sport SPF 50-55. Great for swimmers, athletic people, gardeners.
Tomorrow I will talk about a great product to help heal eczema/sunburn/post laser treatment skin.
Peace & Love Peeps. Stay tuned to some great new products on the horizon!
